Some of my preggie theories

There's method in nature's madness... here's what I think:

Porridge Brain (or Baby Brain)

There are many theories and arguments about how bad your memory and general brain function gets when you're pregnant. Mine was pretty bad before - now it's just impossible!

There are certain things I remember very easily, like the date and time of my next doc appointment. But I keep forgetting phone numbers I've known for years, and at least 3 or 4 times a day I actually have to think about what day of the week it is.

Here's my theory of WHY this happens: your brain needs to be effectively 'switched off' - all normal brain function must cease.

Or else what you ask?

Or else you will spend the day running around screaming, "There's something growing inside of me!!! Aaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!"

Clumsiness (read more)

It has become a daily thing that I drop my keys as I pick them up. I have almost given up trying to even carry cutlery from the draw to the table as it lands up on the floor 90% of the time.

The other morning I spilled my cereal all over myself, the kitchen table and the floor.

There are 2 reasons for this:

1). To get you used to cleaning and picking stuff up, something I imagine you do a LOT with the sprog.

2). To be more understanding and empathetic when sprog does it him/herself.
